(=alt.word) · (added word) · [omit]
1 Therefore, having such a great cloud of witnesses who surrounding us, having laid aside every weight and the easily clinging sin, let us also run through(=with) perseverance the race being set before us,
2 looking to Jesus the author and perfector of faith, who for the joy being set before him endured (the) cross, having despised (the) shame, and has set down at (the) right (hand) of the throne of God.
3 For consider the one having endured such opposition from sinners against himself, so that you might(=will) not grow weary, fainting(=and discouraged) (in) your souls.
4 You have not yet resisted until blood(=to the point of shedding your blood), struggling against [the] sin,
5 and you have forgotten the exhortation which addresses you as to sons, “My son, do not make light of (the) Lord’s discipline, and do not faint(=lose heart) being punished(=when you are rebuked) by(=of) him,
6 for the one whom (the) Lord loves he disciplines, and he scourges every son whom he receives.”
7 Endure for discipline. [The] God is treating you as sons. For what son (is there) whom a father does not discipline?
8 But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are bastards(=illegitimate children) and not sons.
9 Moreover, we were having(=had) the fathers of our flesh (who were) disciplining, and we respected (them). Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?
10 For they were disciplining(=disciplined) us for a few days according to the thing to seem good(=as seemed best) to them, but He(=God) (disciplines us) for the thing being useful(=for our good), for the to have partaken(=so that we might be partakers) of His holiness.
11 On one hand, all discipline not(=no discipline) seems to be of joy(=joyful), but of grief(=painful). Later, on the other hand, it gives back peaceful fruit of righteousness to the ones having been trained through it.
12 Therefore, straighten the hands having been drooped and the knees having been weakened,
13 and make straight paths (for) your feet, so that the lame might not be turned aside(=dislocated), but rather might be healed.
14 Pursue peace with all (men), and the sanctification, without which no one will see the Lord,
15 observing(=looking carefully) anyone not missing(=lest anyone fail) from the grace of God; any root of bitterness, springing up, may not cause trouble, and by this (root) [the] many might be(=become) defiled;
16 not(=lest there be) any fornicator or godless one like Esau, who for one eating(=a single meal) sold his own birthrights.
17 For you know that later he, wanting to inherit the blessing, was rejected, for he found no place of repentance, although having sought it(=the blessing) with tears.
18 For you have not come to (the mountain) being touched and burning (with) fire, and (to) darkness, and (to) gloom, and (to) tempest,
19 and (to) a sound of trumpet, and (to) a voice of words; whose the ones having heard(=the ones who have heard of the voice) begged a word not to be added(=that no word more be spoken) to them,
20 for they were not bearing the order being given; “If even a beast might touch the mountain, it shall be stoned.”
21 And the thing becoming visible(=the sight) was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.”
22 But you have come to Mount Zion and (to) a city of (the) living God, (to) a heavenly Jerusalem, and (to) myriad(=innumerable) company of angels,
23 (to the) church of (the) firstborn having been recorded in heavens, and (to) God, (the) judge of all, and (to) spirits of (the) righteous having been made perfect,
24 and (to) Jesus (the) mediator of a new covenant, and (to the) blood of sprinkling(=sprinkled blood)1 speaking a better thing than the (blood of) Abel.
25 See (that) you might(=do) not refuse the speaking One, for if those ones did not escape, having refused the warning One on earth, (how) much less (will) we (escape), turning away from the One(=if we turn away from the One who warns) from heavens?
26 whose voice then shook the earth, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heaven.”
27 And the (phrase), “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of the things being shaken, as of the things having been made, so that the things not being shaken might(=may) remain.
28 Therefore, receiving an unshakable kingdom, let us have grace, by which we may worship [the] God acceptably with reverence and awe,
29 for our God also (is) a consuming fire
